So if it all kicks off, the US is supporting Guyana

The United States announced joint military flight drills in Guyana on Thursday as with prompted the UN Security Council to call an urgent meeting.

A border feud has been spiralling about the oil-rich Essequibo region, administered by Guyana for more than a century but also claimed by Venezuela, which is now seeking to bring the area under its rule.

The spat is rapidly drawing in the international community, with the American announcement of military exercises the latest sign that Washington is alarmed at the threat from Venezuela’s authoritarian Leftist government.

“In collaboration with the Guyana Defence Force, the US Southern Command will conduct flight operations within Guyana on Dec 7,� the US Embassy in Georgetown said in a statement.

It said that the flights are part of “routine engagement and operations to enhance security partnership� with Guyana.

On Friday, the UN Security Council will meet behind closed doors in New York to discuss the tensions, according to an updated official schedule.

In a letter, Hugh Todd, the foreign minister of Guyana, asked the council’s president to “call urgently for a meeting� to discuss “a grave matter that threatens international peace and security�.

Mr Todd said that Venezuela’s conduct “plainly constitutes a direct threat to Guyana’s peace and security, and more broadly threatens the peace and security of the entire region�.

In Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the country’s president, also voiced “growing concern� about the tension on his country’s northern border, telling a summit of the Mercosur regional bloc: “If there’s one thing we don’t want here in South America it’s war.�

On Wednesday, the Brazilian army said that it was reinforcing its presence in the northern cities of Pacaraima and Boa Vista as part of efforts “to guarantee the inviolability of the territory.�

Does Venezuela still have a military?

[megas30]

Idk anything about the region, but looking it up, the land they want to grab has a lot of oil reserves. Apparently they've been having a dispute over it for over 100 years, back to when Guyana was ruled by the UK. No oil production that far back but they had gold mines.

No matter where on globe, the West always have a hand in these conflicts, whether directly or by proxy.

Isn't it hypocritical to always complain about immigration when you are the one, past or present, who kept going to people's land uprooting their foundation, disrupting their livelihood and stealing their resources?

Yeah, considering the financial crisis Venezuela has had the military is quite strong for the region but that's how it goes in a lot of regimes like Maduros...
